The rules have changed a bit to allow newer and less-experienced players free-er reign this week.

Stream Priority will be given to anyone with less than 50 hours in the game.

To anyone new to IWBTS, here is how the tournament usually works:
(all times are EST)
Tournament check in starts at 8PM and ends at exactly 8:15PM. Anyone who has not checked in on the tournament page will be DISQUALIFIED. After you check-in, join the Steam Group chat so that we can set up matches to be streamed.

We will stream TWO matches per round. The matches that will be streamed are up to myself and the co-host, but we will attempt to get everyone who participates at least one game on stream. There is a 33% chance in a 16-man bracket that you will not be shown on stream.

Each match is a first to two, with the exception of Grand Finals being first to three. The winner of the match should report the results in steam chat in the following format: [Winner's Name] [Winner's Score] - [Loser's Score]. For example, if I had played 6-Let in a match and he had won two rounds and I had only won one round, I would report the match as "6-Let 2-0". If a match is not reported properly, both players may be disqualified. You have 1 minute after your match to report the match.
